Disclaimer: If your looking for something fast, this isn't it. Other than that this car is awesome. Has a nice comfortable ride for it's class. The standard touch screen and automatic dual zone climate control is an awesome standard. I elected for the 6 speed manual. The gear ratios are nicely done and the clutch has a good feel. The hill start assist is a cool feature I never had before and find myself using it often now. The lane assist can sometimes feel like it's fighting you but once you get the feel of it you can gain from it's benefit. The reverse camera is nicely angled and has the lines that move with the steering wheel making parking a breeze. The trunk is huge. I can see myself using this as a commuter and road trip car for at least ten years. And who can be beat $16,300 for a car of these features and warranty. Kia has stepped up the game with the new 2019 Kia Forte.…

DO NOT GET THIS CAR IF: you want an affordable compact car that has enough muscle to make you feel sporty.
Other than the lack of a lot of power this car is best in class all around. Most people who buy this car class is generally on a budget like me or just wants something simple. This is definitely that. The Luxury features in this car are second to none. The 8inch screen that comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Audio is featured standard in no other car in the brand except the stinger next. The affordable S class also has a sun roof. It is very comfortable with its separate daul Zone heating and Ac. This means the driver can blast Ac while the passenger roasts with the heat. Overall comfort and fun is use to describe this car. THE ONLY REASON YOU SAY NO: is if engine performance is you niche else this car beats it compition completely in comfort!…
